To portray a visible world can be considered as the starting point of painting. Then what make us depict our world and make us wish to see the portrayed world? It may be because the actions of "reproduction" themselves contain the immeasurable attractions.
We will introduce you the art works from modern to present Japan, using the term "realistic" as a key word to view through the exhibition. It was from the end of Edo to the beginning of Meiji period when the oil paints arrived to Japan and they made the vivid depictions possible. Then the painters sought after the original meanings of "reality" during the period before the war. Now the painters create the still lifes that look like the real things, the portraits that even express their body temperatures, and the landscapes like daydreams. We would be glad if you can explore the world of "realism" that was pursued by the painters of the times.
